AMT is not intended to be used by itself it is intended to be used with a software management application. Hardware-based management has been available on Intel/AMD based computers in the past, but it has largely been limited to auto-configuration using DHCP or BOOTP for dynamic IP address allocation and diskless workstations, as well as wake-on-LAN (WOL) for remotely powering on systems. Hardware-based management does not depend on the presence of an OS or locally installed management agent. Hardware-based management works at a different level from software applications, and uses a communication channel (through the TCP/IP stack) that is different from software-based communication (which is through the software stack in the operating system). Out-of-band (OOB) or hardware-based management is different from software-based (or in-band) management and software management agents. Intel Active Management Technology ( AMT) is hardware and firmware for remote out-of-band management of select business computers, running on the Intel Management Engine, a separate microprocessor not exposed to the user, in order to monitor, maintain, update, upgrade, and repair them. A part of the Intel AMT web management interface, accessible even when the computer is sleeping
